Summary:
The Newark Central School District in New York is home to three elementary schools: Norman R Kelley Intermediate School, Perkins Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the Newark area.
Based on the available data, there are no clear standout schools in the Newark Central School District. All three elementary schools appear to be performing below state averages on key metrics such as test scores, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the state average. For example, the 5th grade ELA proficiency rate at Norman R Kelley Intermediate School was 27.88%, compared to the state average of 56.61%. The schools also have relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 47.83% at Lincoln Elementary to 60.7% at Norman R Kelley Intermediate, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the district.
Despite the relatively high levels of spending per student, ranging from $24,618 at Lincoln Elementary to $29,227 at Norman R Kelley Intermediate, and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of the schools does not seem to be commensurate with the resources invested. This suggests that the Newark Central School District may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student learning outcomes across all three elementary schools.
